There is nothing more wasteful than a brand that is not living up to its potential. But just because a brand is not living up to its potential does not mean that it can’t be brought back to being a strong, vital asset for your company.

The first step in revitalizing a brand is gaining a good understanding of where your brand is. How is it perceived by your senior management and staff? What are the positive associations that still work? What are the negative associations that must be eliminated?

Once you understand your current brand and what you have to work with, determining what your brand should be – the desired brand – is a matter of business strategy as much as brand strategy. Conducting a brand audit will give you a baseline measurement of your key brand attributes. Periodic measurement of key brand elements then makes sure that your messaging and other actions are moving your brand in the right direction, or that you are maintaining a desired position. In either case, it is essential that you monitor the marketplace for successful brand management.
